Teosinte ligule allele narrows plant architecture and enhances high-density maize yields

Science, 2019
Less space but greater maize yield To meet increasing demands for food, modern agriculture works with increasingly dense plantings. Tian et al. identified a gene in teosinte, the wild ancestor of maize, and used it to alter maize such that the plant has ...

Land productivity and water use efficiency of maize-soybean strip intercropping systems in semi-arid areas: A case study in Punjab Province, Pakistan

Journal of Cleaner Production, 2021
Intercropping improves crop productivity in dryland farms, but little information is available on its application to irrigated land. Therefore, a three-year field trial was conducted to compare two maize-soybean strip-intercropping planting patterns (two-

Paramutation in maize

Plant Molecular Biology, 2000
Paramutation is a heritable change in gene expression induced by allele interactions. This review summarizes key experiments on three maize loci, which undergo paramutation. Similarities and differences between the phenomenology at the three loci are described.

Maize: Foods from Maize

2004
Maize is the leading cereal crop in terms of worldwide production and is used for the production of an array of foods, animal feed, biofuels, and other industrial uses. In terms of human foods, maize is usually channeled into three major milling industries: dry, wet, and nixtamalization, which generate raw materials that are further transformed into ...

Maize and Sorghum

1997
The optimization of fertilizer N application to maize crops is fundamental to avoid pollution of ground water by nitrate. In maize, the great variability of N soil mineralization in summer, the importance of animal manure inputs in many situations, and the uncertainty of the potential production as a consequence of variation in the intensity of summer ...

Damage of Maize Borer and Maize Weevil on the Yield of Transgenic Phytase Maize

Agronomy Journal, 2015
The recent Chinese government approval of transgenic phytase maize for field experimentation is vital for its development of biotech maize for improved maize production. Phytase maize can potentially improve the efficiency of feed utilization by livestock and reduce environmental pollution from animal manure.

A novel PGPR strain Kocuria rhizophila Y1 enhances salt stress tolerance in maize by regulating phytohormone levels, nutrient acquisition, redox potential, ion homeostasis, photosynthetic capacity and stress-responsive genes expression

Environmental and Experimental Botany, 2020
High salinity is harmful for crop physiology and yield. Accumulating evidences indicate that plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can enhance crop growth and reduce the negative impacts of salt stress through regulation of some molecular ...

The Inflorescences of Maize

Science, 1954
1) The development of the maize plant, from germination to the maturation of the seed, is divided into the vegetative, transitional, reproductive, and seed stages. The ear and tassel differentiate and develop in the reproductive stage. 2) The mature tassel is a terminal, staminate inflorescence consisting of a symmetrical, many-rowed central ...
